Chatham High School will host its sixth annual tournament using NAQT sets IS-115 (Premier and Main Divisions) and MSNCT-12 (Freshman Division) . For details and a registration form, please email my colleague Nicole Avery at naveryATchathamHYPHENnjDOTorg.

This is true. I realize that it's late, but if it were possible to move the tournament up a week, I'm sure that there would be multiple Westchester teams here. If not, best of luck to this tournament. We had a great time here last year.

The field is posted as an update to my original post. I'm sure there will be many additions, but we are keeping this Thursday as the deadline for guaranteed spots. After that we'll have a waiting list based on optimizing tournament logistics.

We haven't in the past, but hope to do so this year. It all depends on the number of student staffers we have, and this year we won't be hit by the music ensembles' overnight trip. Having scorekeepers in the game rooms is a higher priority than stat entry, but if we are able to keep individual stats in a timely fashion, we will do exactly that.

Whatever statistics we do have will be posted to the database on tournament day.

Moving the tournament is not an option. Unfortunately conflicts are bound to arise, but we expect another large field this year as it is. (Is there a big "event" in White Plains? ) We've developed a great groove with the post-AP and pre-Memorial Day date, and hope that continues.

Ryan, thank you for your kind words. I hope Ardsley's freshman team enjoys their day.

Saint Joe's will be bringing 3 teams---1 in the Premier Division, 1 in the Main Division, and 1 in the Freshman Division. We will also bring 2 buzzers. I will send an official registration form to Nicole within the next 24 hours or so.

This is just an idea so feel free to shoot it down, but since this tournament has a moderately early explicitly planned finish time of 4:30 and just about all of the schools in the area that host tournaments will have teams here (except for Bergen Academies, Bloomfield, and I'm assuming Livingston will start hosting again with their advisor back next year), would this tournament possibly be the time to set out a possible calendar for next year's tournaments?

We're very close to our provisional field cap of 30 in the Main Division. After that, we'll put teams on a waiting list to keep that division with a multiple of 6 for logistical reasons. Any schools who are uncertain of your # of teams, please pin that down as soon as possible so we can allow all interested teams to register and not have any byes.

This is some lunch advertisement, but if you and your students are interested in eating Japanese food for lunch, please contact me. It its $15 dollars for a bento box which includes rice, shumai, salad, and a california/cucumber/avocado&cucumber roll with a main of chicken/salmon teriyaki/ chicken katsu/pork katsu. There is also fried rice for $8, yakisoba for $10, and chicken teriyaki for $8. Rice balls are $2 each. Drinks are $1 which is coke, diet coke, sprite, ginger ale, and bottled water. These are just recommendations but if you are a vegetarian and want other food, you can message me. If you are interested please message me with your order.

The field is updated again - we had some drops and are holding a free standby spot in each of the Main and Freshman divisions. The first school to arrive tomorrow with extra players will get each spot.

Is there a Semifinal match missing in the stats? St. Joe's lost to Hunter A in one Semifinal, and High Tech was playing Hunter B in the other. The post about the finals says High Tech was playing Hunter A, so should there not be a playoff game in the playoff stats between High Tech and Hunter B? Or am I missing something here?

In the meantime, thanks to Nicole and Steve and everyone at Chatham for running this year-end tournament. It is a great tune-up for those going to Nationals, a great year-ender for everyone else, and the only tournament in the region to run a Freshman only division, which the Frosh love. So thank you!
